Aker BioMarine, Oslo, Norway, has signed distribution agreements covering the U.S. and Nordic markets for its 100% pure krill oil. For the U.S. market, Aker BioMarine has signed an agreement with Jedwards International, which holds an estimated 25-30% omega 3 market share in the U.S. Aker BioMarine has also entered into an agreement with Life Europe AB for distribution of its krill oil by the largest health food store chain in the Nordic countries. The agreement is unique in that only two participants—Aker BioMarine and Life Europe—are involved in the entire value chain, from harvesting Antarctic krill to placing consumer-ready krill oil on store shelves.
